The School of Logging is in full swing at Paul Smith’s College until Aug. 5.
The four-week course prepares students to become loggers who are ready to enter the workforce. They learn to safely operate common logging equipment such as chainsaws, cable skidders, log loaders, feller bunchers and whole-tree harvesters during authentic timber-harvesting operations on Paul Smith’s College land. Graduates earn their New York logger-training certification and are eligible for paid internships in the forest-products industry.
